Joel offers practical strategies for setting boundaries, planning tax-efficient gifts, and balancing the needs of the “sandwich generation.” The episode's third segment tackles the new inherited IRA rules that could cost unwary beneficiaries thousands in penalties. Joel explains how missing required withdrawals can trigger a 25% penalty and push you into a higher tax bracket, plus the common mistakes people make and the tax-smart moves to avoid them. Key Takeaways: Stay updated on CTA regulations and know if your business is affected. Protect your retirement by setting clear boundaries on family financial support. Understand and plan for inherited IRA rules to avoid hefty penalties. Don't miss this engaging episode—click to listen and get expert insights on protecting your wealth, planning smarter, and avoiding costly mistakes!
